ELECTIONS!.

The 2025 presidential elections have come, passed, and gone, but the scars remain. Solutions still pending.

I found myself reporting on politics more often during this period, from one place to another.

This simply developed in me a view of governance from a different perspective, confirming that Politics govern all spheres of the society. Proof being the short lockdown period that we observed in major cities.

The whole economy was stranded, prices witnessed unprecedented hikes, frustration literally grew, especially for the vulnerable groups, who managed life with their petit business ventures.

The happenings during that period posed a big threat to peace consolidation and building. Today, the peace is still dangling as it remains but a wish. A concept we all yearn for.

On my side, reporting on the elections, I received calls and pieces of advice, telling me to be careful as I go about reporting political matters. Thank you all for your kind words.

Meantime, in the midst of all these, I took a step aside to eventually understand the concept of conflict, peace, violence etc, as we observed tensions that escalated within few days, unfortunately leading to the death of some, and many securing injuries and health issues from the tear gas.

So, I went reading the book "Something More Than Justice: The path to lasting peace" by veteran journalist K*m Leonard Official

Personally, I love reading!. And this book, is one of its kind. A must read. From the roots of conflict to its resolution and peace consolidation, equally explaining the Anglophone Crisis and its impacts, amongst others...

Peace is what we need most in our homes, families, communities, and country, and we are all called upon to give in to peace advocacy, and it all starts by being at peace with our innerman.

Most importantly, those at the helm should equally be intentional about consolidating the so much cherished peace that we want for our society. We all need to play our part.

Thank you Mr. Leo, for such a masterpiece!.

The status quo in major neighborhoods in Douala this morning.

Has the general Monday ghost town observed in the crisis hit regions, also knocked Douala by KO?

Less than three hours to go for the "final verdict" of the 2025 presidential election, Douala the economic hub of the country, Cameroon, is as though a ghost town was declared.

In major streets, movement is not seen, as compared to the usual days.

Inhabitants have decided to stay indoors. Below is a street in the Bonamoussadi neighborhood in Douala 5 subdivision.

Has Douala now become like Bamenda or Buea on a Monday?.

The results are expected at 11AM!!!

Today, Monday 27th October 2025, at exactly 11am, Cameroon time, the final verdict of the 2025 presidential election will be given.

The president of the Constitutional Council, Clément Atangana, is the most anticipated personnality today.

Rather unfortunate!.

Sunday 26th of October has been a bloody day, Issa Tchiroma Bakary's supporters stormed the streets, in response to his call for a peaceful march, he earlier announced.

It unfortunately turned sour, leaving behind, as at now, no less than 4 deaths, as per reports.

Major neighborhoods in the city of Douala saw an unprecedented level of violence leaving behind casualties and numerous injured persons.

On our part, we received footages of a group of youths carrying the lifeless body of another one, reportedly killed during the protest.

In another footage, angry protesters where beating up a police officer after laying their hands on him.

When I watch such footages, Bamenda and Buea just flash through my mind...

But the question is:

Why the real bullets in such a situation?.

And the night seems to be a long one!.

Presidential Candidate, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, in a recent outing is calling on Cameroonians to turn out massively.

"Dear compatriots,
On Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 3:00 PM, I call on you to turn out in great numbers in every city of Cameroon, in every village, every neighborhood, as well as throughout the diaspora. Let us make our voices heard through a peaceful march that will show everyone, both at home and abroad, that it is the people who choose their leader. Let us remain united, dignified, and determined: our strength lies in our numbers, in our discipline, and in our conviction that the future of Cameroon belongs to its children."

My POV: In as much as it is aimed at defending the votes, showing that the people have chosen their leader, whether a peaceful march or not, the English-Speaking speaking Cameroonians should stay home.

10/23/2025

Cameroonians in their numbers are standing against the an 8th term of their president, one of the longest serving in the whole world, and the oldest too.

As it stands nothing is certain.

We will relive the post 2018 presidential election? Only the days ahead will tell us...

10/23/2025

So this is the reason why one had difficulties in having access to the net today!.

Wow!

10/22/2025

Fam!. The entire nation will have to hold its breath for a couple of days again!
At least till the 27th of October.

Why?,

Simply because the date for the results has been postponed for that day, Monday, October 27.

Read the notice below.

What are your thoughts?.

10/22/2025

Okay! Here we go, the last bending corner to the D-day!.

The Constitutional Council has concluded its hearing at the Yaoundé Congres Hall, marking the end of all appeals related to the October 12 presidential election.

Meantime, to the surprise of many, a said man of God Prophet Pierre Nounkam, filed a final petition, earlier asking the total annulment of the election on grounds of a “divine revelation.”

An appeal that saw the President of the Constitutional Council, Clément Atangana declaring it as being inadmissible, consequently closing the session.

In other words, all complaints that were filed by the different stakeholders since the October 12 Election held, have now been reviewed and dismissed.

What next?

We patiently wait for tomorrow Thursday, October 23rd, the expected day for the official results, while observing how things will turn out, hours to the proclamation.

Remember, the SDO of the Wouri Division in a public communiqué has banned the movement of commercial motorbike riders from plying some major roads and neighborhoods in the city, starting 6pm, this evening, and the tomorrow included.

Will it be respected ?

10/22/2025

Cameroon is about to live the last most exciting hours leading up to the announcement of a presidential election's results of its history.

With Cameroon commonly known as the country of impossibilities, eventually nothing is certain.

The results of this 2025 presidential election, which will be officially made public by the Constitutional Council in a couple for hours from now, will by all means determine our tomorrow, whether in good, or in bad!.

Either way, the stakes have never been so high!!!.

10/21/2025

Cameroon is witnessing a pivotal moment in its history, with tensions being observed in the major French speaking towns like Yaoundé and Garoua, in line with the 2025 presidential elections.

Some presidential candidates who went tabling their complaints about fraud and irregularities observed during the October 12 polls, have withdrawn them.

This and more, a are found in the The Guardian Post edition of Wednesday 22nd of October 2025.
